In Mashups

To use them in Mashups, we tell MForms Automation Builder to create an MForms URI encoded, we copy/paste the URI into the desired property in Mashup Designer which will XML-encode it, and we carefully replace the hard-coded values by parameter names in curly braces with the corresponding parameter binding:

One problem I forgot to mention is the lack of URI-encoding with this second method, but it doesn’t seem to have any impact, the result works equally well.

Question: how did you think of using this second method? I’ve only seen the first method. If it’s already mentioned in a document somewhere, I will make sure to read the rest of the document for other good stuff.
